The terrible roar of the beast resounded throughout Kirigakure. The ninjas battling on the field froze in terror as they witnessed the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, in his violent rampage. The raw fear gripped their souls, rendering some unable to move.
In an instant, Yagura reached his limit, his berserk state tearing several rebel ninjas in half effortlessly. The disparity in strength was evident; even Jōnin couldn't stand against a rampaging Jinchūriki.
"The Fourth Mizukage has gone mad!"
"We can't escape, Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow!"
"Water Style: Water Barrier!"
"Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Clematis!"
Desperate, the rebel ninjas launched a frenzied assault. Bones, ninjutsu, shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags overwhelmed Yagura, but to no avail. His chakra cloak was impenetrable, and the rebels' attacks shattered upon contact. Even the powerful Dead Bone Pulse, which had seemed invincible, proved useless against him.
The berserk Jinchūriki was a battlefield nightmare, akin to the chaos witnessed during the Konoha vs Cloud Shinobi skirmish when the Two-Tails Jinchūriki wreaked havoc. The appearance of Killer Bee had collapsed Konoha's defenses instantly, showcasing the overwhelming power of a Jinchūriki.
Yagura, though perhaps not as powerful as Killer Bee, was a significant threat. His berserk state turned the water-soaked battlefield into a blood-soaked horror, nearly a hundred ninjas falling victim to his fury, mostly rebels.
"Is this the power of Mizukage-sama..."
The Fuguki Suikazan, gripped by fear, watched the carnage. Despite his weapon, Samehada, being somewhat effective against Jinchūriki, he hesitated to engage Yagura.
"Follow Mizukage-sama and let the rebels bear it!" he roared, leading Mist Shinobi against the rebels. His aggressive demeanor cut down Chūnin traitors swiftly, and other Mist Shinobi followed his lead, slaughtering the rebels mercilessly.
In the distance, Kazuya observed with a knowing smile. The Suikazan's actions amused him. If he were in charge, he would eliminate the rebel Jōnin first, then confront Mizukage directly, ensuring a noteworthy battle report. But targeting Chūnin and avoiding real threats would earn the Suikazan a reputation for cowardice.

Bright golden light continuously poured into Kazuya's body, nearly filling his chakra reserves.
"Fourth Mizukage Yagura... Good! Kill more! When you kill all the Mist Shinobi present, half the village will be destroyed, and you, Mizukage, will die too! Go home and farm!" Kazuya muttered under his breath, frustrated by Yagura's wastefulness. This constant chaos would only deplete Kirigakure's future ninjas, reducing his chances for gaining more experience.
On the battlefield, Yagura's monstrous form sensed Kazuya's immense chakra and rushed towards him.
"Captain Nohara, get out of here!" the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish yelled in terror. "Mizukage-sama will kill you!"
He chased after Yagura, realizing that if Konoha's Anbu Captain was killed, it would spark a war between the nations. However, his speed was no match for Yagura's.
Yagura closed the distance, his beastly claws slashing towards Kazuya. The air buzzed with the overwhelming power of Tailed Beast Chakra.
Then, with a tremendous impact, Yagura was sent flying by a single punch from Kazuya. The berserk Mizukage crashed into a distant mountain, causing a massive collapse.
"That's it?" Kazuya smiled slightly. "Jinchūriki? Rampage? Sorry, but I've handled worse."
His confident words hung in the air as the dust settled, revealing the staggering power he wielded.
